Isnt the whole point of meme formats to be stolen and reused in creative ways?
yes I think, but also, to capture the bits of message that are expressed in the meme, but not explicit, and to communicate the appropriately.
A meme is both the thing and the context of its use. What do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Meme format ≠ meme.
agreed. that's the difference between stealing a joke format and a joke.
